User Experience Designer
Meriel Karen
Hello! My name is Meriel and I am a UX designer based in the Seattle area. I’m curious about how we interact with the world around us and how this is shaped by evolution in technology and social norms. My experience spans from marketing to tech and this is some of the work I’ve done.
